First, it gave ..(hKUKK) .) the general fund of the Exposition. ipon consideration that the city of St. ouis Avould raise- lo.HK),0O0. This f course was promptly done. Then. !n Government appropriated nearly million and .i half more for buildings nd exhibits, and a few weeks ago de- tided to make a loan of .-nLGOO.UOO to he Exposition in order to have the laborate plans carried out to their completeness. -The Government can tit lose much on this investment at St. Louis, for the reason that St. Louis ft'tunis in internal revenue taxes for fie Eastern half of Missouri alone, fver $l5.0tH),000 a year. 1 1 wish I might describe the great Beauty of the Government building. ti is Sou foot long and stands on a g, tiroad terrace upon the hillside, over looking the grand group of exhibit RUSSIA'S VICEROY. i Admiral Alexelefl Master Mind, a M.hri I Will and a Masterfnl Hand.

Alexeleff, described ly Senator Beveridge in his book, The Russian Advance," as "a master rind, n master -will, altogether a mas ttrful man,' is the subject of an in rsrniing article by Charles Johnston, i7 Harper's Weekly.

The new science of forestry has here a most interesting exemplification. In the central western part of the grounds are many of the Foreign Gov ernment Pavilions. Some fifty for eign nations are taking active part in the World's Fair, several of them spending more than a half-million dol lars each. These are England, France, Germany, l'razil, Japan and China. Japan alone has brought sever.ty eight thousand exhibits. . The displays from the Philippine Isl ands form a very attractive feature of the Exposition. There are some eighty thousand of these exhibits ar ranged in buildings upon a reserva tion of forty acres, lying west of the Palace of Agriculture. About thirty acres are given up to an exhibit of the North American In dians, their industries ami home life. A large space is devoted to the aerial concourse. Here will be held the series of airship trials and contests, upon which the Exposition Las planned to expend 200.000. Of this sum, $100,- i 000 is to be given as a grand prize to the aeronaut who will sail an airship in the quickest time over a fourtvcn mile course. The quadrennial Olympic games are to be held at the World's Fair this year. A large building devoted to MUSIC AND ANIMALS. Th Puma is the Most Sensitive to the Influence of Melody. Some very curious experiments have recently been carried out in the Ger man Zoological Gardens in order to ascertain the actual influence of music upon animals. The instrument was the violin and Herr Baker was the per former. Of all the animals the puma was the most sensitive to the musical influ ence. His moods changed rapidly, ac cording to the nature of the rueloely, the animal frequently becoming very excited antl nervous, "just like a Frenchman,' i.s the report says. Leopards were entirely unconcerned, but the lions appeared to be afraid, al though their cubs wanted to dance when the . .usic became livelier. The hyenas were very much terrified, but the monkeys were merely curious and the monkeys were merly curious. The experiments are to be continued, and with a variety of instruments. In order to distinguish between the men tal states which are actually produced by the music and those which are merely the result of an unusual ex perience. Scientific American. Interesting.

Iladley, of New York, lias written a waltz, also upon Invitation of the Exposition, for its musical pro grams. The central feature of the Expo sition, or what is intended to be the most beautiful scene in the whole araml picture, is made up of Cascade Gardens, the Colonade of States and the Hall of Festivals. The gardens with their cascades and statuary, and the elaborate architectural features, are nearly a half a mile from east to west and represent an expenditure of one million dollars. It is the most am bitious scheme of formal gardening ever undertaken at an Exposition, or else where. The Festival Hall, 200 feet in diameter and 2R) feet high, con tains the largest organ in the world, and has a seating capacity for thirty-live- hundred peopie. Practically all St. Louis is preparing to accommodate World's Fair visi tors. The private homes will be open for the reception of guests throughout the Exposition. The prices will be from oOc. to $1.50 per day for each perso for rooms. Restaurants arc so plenti ful that meals may be had in almost any locality where the visitors may happen to stop. N.RAYS AND DIGESTION. This Process Causes Their Emission, at Does Muscular Activity. That the processes of digestion, as well as mental and muscular activity, seem to cause the emission of N-rays, is the conclusion reached by M. Lam bert, in France, after a series of inter esting experiment's. He believes that these curious rays are produced by ferments, especially by those ecs cerned in the digestion of albuminoid matter. In. his experiments on diges tion, says u writer in Harper's Week ly, M. Lambert placed a small quantity of fibrin in tubes containing in one case activated pancreatic juice, and in another artificial gastric juice made by mixing five per cent, solution of pepsin with a four per cent, solution of hydrochloric acid. From these tubes the N-rays were emitted, and were detected not only by producing increased luminescence of a phos phorescent screen, but also photo graphically, thus removing the sub jective element froiu the experiment. As a result of these experiments, M. Lambert believes that in the course of digestion the fibrin undergoes strains which act to produce N-rays. Prosperous Yucatan.

V WARFARE IS SLOW Neither Sussta Nor Japaa Mikiif Ai Effort to Fijfel NE S SCAICE AND CON J1ADICI0IY Russia Trln to Explain That She Has Sustained So Serious Los Up to This Time. St. reiersbur?. By Cable. The gen. erallr antiiipatel attack ou Tot Ar thur did not orcur. elthotih a tele gram received frcm Grand Dnke Cyril reports that the eoensy's ships were sighted on the horizon. It is presumed that the Japanese were warned of the extra piecautlons which had been taken to guard against a surprise. There was no Easter merry-making at the front. By special dispensation the soldiers and sailors there were re lieved of all religious exercises on ac count of the necessities of the military situation. Vice Admiial Makafcff's torpedo flotiba patrolled the open ha, while the warships, with full steam up. re mained outside Port Arthur. Elsewhere throughout the theater of war all reported quiet. A high mili tary authority, in conversation with the .Associated Press, explained why Gtn. Kmopatkiu's plau of campaign docs not contemplate a heavy resist ance ts the Japanese advance at the Valu. saying: "Either defeat or victory in a battle there would be disadvantageous to us. If we lest we would have to fall back .h rough a difficult country. If we won --and I say to you that Russian strat egy 's baed on the idea of viclory, and irot on that of defeat success, would le fruitless. AVe could not fol low it up without exposing the army to too great risks. On account of the Japanese control of the sea, if we pur sued the enemy into the peninsular of Korea we would open both flanks to a possible attack in the rear. No the Japanese must come on to a point in the interior which we have selected, where we can follow up a crushing de feat to the bitter end with blow after blew and seal the fate cf the campaign. "Our plans on sea and lan.1 will con verge at a time next summer when Vice Admiral MakarcfTs fleet will be relieved by the arrival of reinforce ments. Then, if successful cn land, we can clear the sea of the enemy, cut his communications, and the Japanese in Kcrca and Manchuria will then be at orr mercy. "The world must not be impatient. The prelude to this war is not yet fin ished." It is understood here that as the re suit of Gen. Kuropatkin's vlst to Xew Ghwang. re-inforcements of 100.000 men will be sent forward from Liao Yang. Derlin. By Cable. The Tagleblatfs war correspondent. Maj. Gaedke, writ ing on a train while nea'ring Harbin, March 19, said: "Only six trains daily pass east on the railroad to Manchuria and only four thence to Harbin, but these con sist of as many as S8 cars. The rail road apparently u able to meet the military demands." The Japanese Fleet. London, By Cable. A correspon dent of the Times at Wei-Hai-Wei, cabling under Friday's daJ.e, says: "The result of a week's cruise leads me to believe that the Japanese fleet is engaged covering arrangements for a new landing of the troops recently mobilized. A qlose blockade of Port Arthur is not maintained, presumably because of information regarding the state of the channel. Certainly up to the present no Japanese transports have enetered the gulf of Pechi LI." Mobilization of Black Sea Reserves. St. Petersburg, By Cable, The mob ilization of the Black Sea reserves Is necessitated in order to fill gaps caus ed by drafting sailors to the far East. It is expected that a similar mobiliza tion will come into effect in the Baltic provinces within a month. An authoritative denial is given of the rumor of a Russian reverse on the Yalu. No official telegrams were received from the front today. The steamer Suminoye Maru called in at Chemulpo Friday to take on board 300 men belonging to the first division. The newspaper correspon dents on board the Suminoye Maru were not permitted to land and a cor respondent who was here waiting to go forward with the Japanese troops was refused permission to embark on the steamer. The Russian Plan. Paris, By Cable. The Russian plan for retrieving the reverses at Port Ar thur and Chemulpo has been communi cated to one of the embassies through official channels having access to the highest naval authorities at St. Peters burg. The plan is explained a fol lows: . Russia recognizes that the Japanese now has preponderating naval strength in the far East. Therefore it is essen tial to reverse the. present Japanese preponderance. This will be attempted by two distinct moves. First, urgent efforts will be made to have a naval concentration at Port Arthur, the, Baltic, Red Sea and Vladi vostock fleets joining Vice Admiral Makaroff's command, if possible, and thus giving the combined fleets prepon derance over Vice Admiral Togo. Second, it is foreseen that it will be difficult and probably impossible to effect this concentration, as Admiral Togo may intercept the Baltic fleet be fore its arrival at Port Arthur.

This active campaign participated in bv a number of the most thoughtful citizens and effective speakers of the State, and carried on each year through the aid of the Southern educational board under the direction of tha local campaign committee named above, has been very helpful in arousing public Eentiment and awakening general in ttrest in public education and In the betterment of th public schools. It has proved one of th? most effective agen cies in the educational progress for the oast two .years. Of course the agitation of these question relating to the im provement of the public schools and the education of the people Is quietly going on all the year around in the va r ous counties under the general direc tion and leadership of county superin tf ndents and other officials. The State Sunerintendt has probably averaged not less than two educational ad dresscA a week during the last two vcars. and has been compelled to de cline as manv invitations as he Las ac cepted, showing the abWIng interest of the people in this subject and the nec esf itv for aid in meeting the demands for the discussion of educations! ques tions.
